I've used Yahoo sitebuilder to make a website -- not too impressed with it though it limits what you can do. I had to publish everything to my Yahoo hosting account then go back and add all the html stuff that woudn't work on Sitebuilder, it's templates are cool though it's okay, but lacks the some power. But it works slow since it's on java. I'm more used to HTML editors.

yes, but it outputs horrible code! If you ever view the code it will repeat all the <span> styles from one character to the next at times! and runs slow at times (java).

In addition to the code being a big mess, it also includes a few lines of code that i think links back to Yahoo (can't remember.) If that's not a clever spam, i don't know what is (millions of pages with links back to Yahoo that inexperienced users are not even aware of.)

My first page was with Homestead (used the sitebuilder) and then i used Yahoo to build my second page (way back in 1999.) If you expect your page will be search engine friendly, think again. Yahoo doesn't tell you anything more than, "once you're done, submit to the Yahoo directory." and then wait forever... for nothing. It's not bad if you can get in the code and change it a little, but... i would suggest taking the time to learn html. It seems overwhelming in the beginning, but in the end you'll be better prepared to expand whatever it is you're putting on the WWW. Benifiting your self-esteem as well as your bank account.

Not to mention, the package deals with Yahoo are terrible. The price it costs you to get a subdomain, you could get your own domain with more space, more options, more control... well... more everything. And all you have to do is spend a couple of weeks learning basic html.

Good luck.
